so as you can imagine.. when I go places with all of my kids, I often times get lots of stares. I think they are either trying to figure out if they are all mine? Or what. Quite a few times, I have been mistaken for an older sibling or a aunt?.. which to me is just HILARIOUS! (I mean really.. I don't look THAT young).. but recently I went into meet with my son Parker's, new high school teachers and the counselor there. When I walked in with Ben.. she looked at me.. and she said.. okay, so is your mom coming? or just your dad and your sister? I was like.. um. I am the mom! lol.. She started laughing and said "no really?" and I was like. um YES Really??? Then She said.. "I thought for sure you were one of the high school students here?" and that made me laugh even more. Because while people tell me I do look younger for my age.. to me I am thinking like 2 or 3 years younger.. not almost 20! Ben then said.. um excuse me? what about me? and that made everyone laugh. But I do get it alot. and I am not saying ANY Of this to brag.. because there is a reason I do look younger.. So then a second question people always seem to ask me is.. .. what skin care do you use or how do you stay looking so young?
and THAT is what today's post is on. I STRONGLY believe that the reason why I haven't aged much over the last 20 years is because of my skin care regimen. My mom taught us gurls, at a young age, to really take care of our skin. She sold Mary Kay for a number of years (had her pink car and everything).. and so from like age 11 or 12, I have been using really great skin care products. But then about 2 years or so ago, I started getting adult acne.. like little bumps all over my jaw line and cheeks and forehead and It freaked me out.I had bad acne in high school and I did NOT want to go through that again. So then I finally switched from MaryKay to Pro-Active.. which I LOVED.. at first... I mean it took away the acne incredibly but after a while it started to irritate my skin and I noticed spots on my face and dark colors and and other harsh reactions I was having too it. Maybe that was just age, but it felt like it was the pro-active that was doing it. I had been using it for about a year.. so early this last spring, I was sitting at dinner telling my sister about it.. and also commenting on HER skin.. She has always has age spots on her forehead and face and I noticed they were REALLY going away. I knew her husband and her had recently developed a line of skin care products but I hadn't ever tried them because I loved what I was using. So she told me she would give me a sample of hers and I could just see for myself if it would work for me. Umm holy cow. Can you say LOVE?? I mean REAL LOVE? It was calledMuvazi
not only did most of my weird spot go away, but it also improved my skin tone AND it faded my fine lines and wrinkles that I had started to get over the past couple of years. I was AMAZED! not since Marykay (which I had used for 20 something years).. had I found a product that I actually Like BETTER and with better results! anyhow.. I have been using it for almost 9 months now and I don't ever see myself using anything else. I only wash my face once a day.. (mornings only).I probably should do it twice.. but seriously.. at the end of the day, I am good to just take my contacts out and brush my teeth before i crash in bed. So for me the skin care system last about 2-3 months.
I love seeing that white Muvazi box.. in my mailbox every few months..
It's pretty dang cute too (plus It makes for a great altered art project! lol)
I truly do love this product. It's made for the real women. people who are not so "young" anymore with perfect skin (I mean I sure they can use it too)but it REALLY not only conditions and re-rejuvenates the skin.. it takes care of those age spots and lines and discolorations we all start to get in time. I don't mind getting older.. but I still want to feel comfortable in my skin. :) and now I do. I can go out of the house without putting on makeup. I can be out on the boat and swimming all day and not feel selfconcious of the spots on my face and stuff. I truly am SOLD on this skin care line.
okay.. so i know some of you are probably wondering how much is it.. where can you get it.. etc.
WEL....L and don't freak out.. but normally it costs $149.00 retail. STICKER Shock I know! it is a High end product.. its sold into high end spas and other high end retail stores... so when I was telling my sister I wanted to do a blog post on it.. I told her I also wanted to offer you gals some kind of coupon code though.. becasyeI was just honest with her.. I told them I couldn't afford to buy it for that price.. and I am the average person. And my BLOG readers are the average women. We can't spend a ton of money on our skin. Wish we could.. but with realy life and kids and everytihng else, I need something affordable). WELL.. they give me a "family" discount.. and so I told them.. that if they offered that SAME discount to my "blog readers" i know that some of you who would love to try it.. might be able too (because at $149.00 I wouldn't be able to use it..that is for sure). and she instantly said YES! SO for all my blog readers.. if you use the coupon codeiluvmv on their website when you check out.. you get it for 60% OFF the retail price.. which is $59.00 PLUS free shipping! Seriously? How can you NOT try it! If it lasts you 2-3 months.. you are paying around $20-25 bucks a month for skin care and even if you buy just stuff at walmart.. you are paying at LEAST that much. Seriously. that a freaking amazing deal! I promise you .. I am NOT being paid to write this post.. NOR am i getting a kickback from sales. I truly just love this product. and I BUY my own product. Because I am my own business owner and I know you can't give it all away for free.. so I don't expect them to give it to me for free, specially when I love it so much.
SO if you want to take advantage of this deal.. She said it would be good until the end of this month.. October (in honor of my birthday :))
simply put in the code
iluvmv at checkout
to receive the 60% d discount. AND FREE Shipping ANYWHERE in the world (including international!)
AND if you go to their facebook page (do a search on facebook for Muvazi or click HERE) and "like" them.. they do giveaways and other fun things on there too!
guess what else? Silly old me.. made a video for you.. I wanted to show you up close what it has done for my skin AND show you all the product and how each one works and how I use them.. so make sure to watch the video! I make a fool of myself.. so you have to watch it. :)
anyhow.. hope you don't mind this post. I know it's not related to art.. but it is apart of my life and who I am. Sometime I need to do a fun question and answer blog post and open it up to just about anything! that would be a super fun video! hum.. ideas are rolling :)
check back thursday for a new post on being creatively inspired.. and a new art project for FALL! :)
Happy Tuesday!
Hello sir, I got you by Google search.
It is really helpful article about the topic of christytomlinson.typepad.It is very helpful in using social media sites. I so much interest about your article. I know it is not any simple information. This is very nice post! I will bookmark this blog as I have As an enthusiastic muscle builder, I select Xtreme no for many factors. Nitric Oxide products are a fantastic option to the unlawful and risky given that some people use for fast advantages. These steroid drugs can be damaging to your overall long-term wellness, can make your locks loss out, testes reduce, in addition to can destroy you. They could also get you prohibited from your game if they do medication examining. They're not value the issues they make so keep away from them and keep with products that provide you with good long-term advantages. I seriously suggest you examine out XTreme NO and see if it's right for you.
Thank You Very Much For a Nice & Cool Article.

I laughed at your article not because it is not so well written. I laughed because of your statement that people thought you own all the kids that you would bring.

Thank you thank you thank you Christy!! I am on a quest for the right skincare for my skin! I am definitely going to try this and see if it can get rid of some redness and dark spots I'm getting. Now that I'm in my mid-30's, I am noticing changes in my skin and want to stop it NOW!!!

WOW, looks and sounds really good - I've just ordered and hope it makes its way safely to Australia - thanks you so much.

Christy, just wanted to post about another product women might want to try along with the skin care. I will be 64 in November, but people never think I am that old. Part of that is because of my grandma's and mom's genes, for which I am grateful. I had one lady tell me she thought I was in my late 30's! Wowza! My sons are 47, 38, and 36! One of my "secrets" is using Suzanne Somers' Facemaster. Another great product to keep us from having wrinkles.
